    It was over 3 years ago when I replaced my King Pin bushes, and they have just been done again. I used what was sent to us in the box with my truck....nylon/Teflon bushes. Biggest mistake ever. Within about 2,000 miles, the bushes were flogged out and there was too much play in the front end. So out they came again, and off to a local machine shop specialising in suspension work. The guys there installed new bronze bushes, and reamed to size. Perfect mow, and what a difference it makes to the handling of the truck.
